[ARC5] Vibrator Power Supplies

[J Mcvey]

 "cycle" means one period  . A period is the time where a cyclical waveform makes unique transitions before it repeats those transitions, thus "cycling" in a periodic fashion.
I measured a military vibrator last year to make a Mosfet sub.. the period of the square wave was 8 ms which is 125 Hz . I set the oscillator to run 125 Hz and it worked . I found it to be meaningful...

 You misinterpreted. I was referring to a standard vibrator supply. My post referred to what is meant by a vibrator operating at 100-120 Hz. If it means transitions from side to side 100-120 times per second, that is equivalent to 50-60 Hz at the transformer secondary. It's meaningless to specify a vibrator "frequency" and derive the waveform frequency from that.

You unplug the vibrator and apply the AC directly to the transformer primary.  No vibrator in the circuit anywhere!

Are we talking about 100-120 transitions per second, which would be 50-60 Hz at the secondary winding?Seems to me that if delivering 100-120 Hz, the vibrator would be transitioning 200-240 times p.s., which I think would be near-impossible.
